Just thought it worth an update, we’ve been busy reviewing various mince pies as usual, and the league table is ever growing. We’re now at 31 seperately rated mince pies spread over the last three years.
Still at number one of course is the Fortnum & Mason ones from last year (I’ll be picking some of this years up over the next week or two). Amazingly not bottom is this years Iceland disaster of a mince pie, that honour is retained by Heston’s evil concoction from a couple of years ago!

Never got around to trying Lidl mince pies, I’ll see if I can get to one of the shops though over the next couple of weeks and write them up though.
